T Be it known that 1, WILLIAM H. HART, J r., a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Umbrella Stands and Racks, which improvementis fully set forth in the following specification and accompanycondition, parts of the same being hung on an auxiliary stand. Fig. 3 represents a partial sectional view and partial side elevation of certain parts in suspended condition.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.

Referring to the drawings, A, A, A designate standards of increasing length, and B designates a cross rod or bar, which connects the lower ends of said standards by, means of'the couplings O, 0', C

(3 designates feet which are connected with the front and rear standards A, A and support the same in' upright position. 7 p

D, D, D designate horizontally-arranged tubes which have vertically-arranged sleeves E, E, E secured to the same near the ends thereof, said sleeves being freely mounted on the standards A, A, A respectively, it being noticed that said tubes are arranged at different altitudes, the sleeves E resting on the couplings G of the standards A,'the sleeves E resting on pins F, which are passed through the standards A and the sleeve E resting on pins .G which are passed through the standards A H, H, H designate racks, the rack H being provided on its ends with eyes or bosses J, which are fitted on the standards A, and retained byrpins K, which are passed under said eyes into openings L insaid standards, said rack being thus sustained over the tube D.

cets N,the effect of which is evident.

bosses J on the ends of said rack H and fitted in openings L in said standard A.

The rack H is located over the tube D and supported on the standard A by means of the eyes or bosses J which are fitted on the standard A and retained in position by means of pins K which are passed under said eyes into openings L in the standard A The openings in the racks correspond with openings M, M, M in the respective tubes D, 1), D it being noticed that an umbrella may be placed in either of the racks and haveits ferrule or tip end inserted in the openings in the respective tube, whereby water from the umbrella may drip into said tube and be collected therein, while the umbrella remains nicely supported.

In order to discharge the contents of the tubes, the same are provided with cocks or fan- It will also be seen that the racks and corresponding tubes are arranged in tiers at differentheights, set back one from the other, so that the umbrellas in the difierent tiers may not interfere with each other, and they are convenient of access, and plainly presented to view.

The racks are provided with hooks a for hanging checks thereon.

At the top of the standards are caps P, which I may be readily removed, after which the pins K, K, K are withdrawn, when the racks and tubes may be displaced from the standards and the device virtually dismembered, 1eaving each SiigQf standards intact, as shown at the right hand of Fig. 2. The tubes and racks may now be hung on the pins Q of the cross bar R of the stand S, so that the device may be readily stored away, the parts of the same occupying much less space than what is shown in Fig. 1. When the stand andrack is again required for use, the racks and tubes on the pins Q are removed therefrom, and the parts are assembled, the two sets of standards being connected by the tubes D, D, D and thus the device is in operative position as shown in Fig. 1.

1. An umbrella stand formed of open frame work, consisting of the standards A, A, A of increased heights, the bottom cross bars 13, B, connected with said standards,the feet C secured to the outer standards A, A the tubes D, D, D having sleeves adjustable on said standards, and the racks H, H, H having eyes adjustably supported on said standards, said tubes and racks being arranged in rows and tiers, and the parts named combined, substantially as described.

2. An umbrella stand formed of open frame work, consisting of cross bars B, B, the standards A, A, A of increasing heights secured to each of said bars by couplings, the feet C secured to said standards A and A, the tubes D, D, D having vertical sleeves adjustable WILLIAM H. HART, JR. Witnesses: 7
